Hasbro has released several versions of Aayla Secura over the years, but I feel they still have yet to create a definitive one. With a fresh coat of paint on the 2012 Vintage Collection Aayla Secura figure, I was finally able to capture her likeness. This was a super simple personal project I squeezed in between my commissions, but it was well worth the effort! With all the super ambitious projects I’ve been doing for clients lately, it was nice to make a simpler figure.
I started by completely covering her skin in a coat of navy blue. I dry brushed a rich teal over that, and then hand painted layers of highlights over that. I chose to highlight her with shades of yellow to contrast the blue and really make it pop. For her clothing, I completely painted everything dark brown, and then hand painted the highlights and details to bring the textures to life.
My favorite thing about this project is that with enough patience, a good brush, and the right paints, this is something anyone can do.
